DSCA noted that Singapore intends to add these weapons to its stockpiles of air-to-ground ordnance, and will also use them in training its fighter pilots at their CONUS facility in the United States. In urging Congress to permit the sale, DSCA called Singapore "a key regional partner in counter-terrorism and an important force for political stability and economic progress in Southeast Asia."

DSCA assured Congress that this sale of military equipment "will not alter the basic military balance in the region," nor will it result in any "adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness."

Unless rejected by Congress, this sale should generate an estimated $63 million in incremental revenue for principal contractor Boeing.

Follow me on Twitter or Facebook for the most important developments in defense & aerospace news, and other great stories besides.
